Actress Kym Marsh opened up about her personal Catfish ordeal on Loose Women

Speaking to Andrea McLean, Linda Robson, Martine McCutcheon and Jane Moore, she explained: "I knew there were fake profiles of me on social media – to a certain extent you expect it a little bit.

"But this one particular day I came home to a bunch of flowers on the doorstep of my home with a card that said ‘Sorry you couldn’t make the date, hope you’re better soon’ with kisses and no name. And obviously my boyfriend was a bit like, ‘What’s this about?’"

Kym revealed a stranger had been led to believe they were in a relationship with her

She continued: "The police did find out who it was, they contacted the guy and he thought he’d been having a relationship with me for the last ten years.”
“He said that originally they’d been talking over social media and then this person [the catfish] had been texting and stuff as well and claiming to be me.

Kym added: “They wouldn’t give me that information [whether the catfish was a woman]. It was really creepy… to have somebody at your home.”
Of the length of deception, Kym admitted: “[That] in itself is quite odd, why haven’t you questioned why we’ve not met for ten years? It’s a bit of a strange relationship.”

Kym also spoke about fake profiles being made of her teenage daughter Emily

Kym also revealed how her family members had been targeted as she said: "Somoene had claimed to been my niece and said that my actual niece had died of cancer. It also affects my family too."

As for her daughter Emilie's ordeal, she explained: "Since Emilie has been about 14/15, there has been fake profiles made about her. We kept reporting it and it kept being taken off and another would put back up.

"One profile claimed she was bisexual and wanted to meet girls. She was getting really distressed about it because things were being said about her that's not true."

Kym concluded: "For me I felt it was really odd. We got an idea of the person's number but the police said they weren't able to do anything because they technically weren't committing a crime."
